Notes

"Like a Mighty Banyan" developed from a grant awarded to Palm Beach Junior College, Department of Student Affairs, to further recruit and retain minority students. The unique focus of the recruitment process outlined in the grant was to involve the minority community: the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, clergy and some community social, civic, economic and political leaders in a project with Palm Beach junior College. The participants and the College could grow from the relationship. The symposium series on the Contributions of Blacks to Palm Beach County became the project. The acknowledgement, bibliography and appendix demonstrate the extent of community involvement. Information was collected from West Palm Beach, Belle Glade, South Bay, Pahokee, Jupiter, Riviera Beach, Lake Worth, Boynton, Delray and Boca Raton and speakers came from all those areas. The College was committed to provide the necessary support for the successful completion of the project. - Epilogue page 59
